ROME (Reuters) - Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, told a court on Wednesday she feared for her three-year-old daughter after an online stalker claimed on Facebook that the child was his.

"I'm not sleeping at night thinking about the threats that this man has levelled at me on Facebook," said Meloni, whose popularity has risen sharply over the past year, making her one of the most recognisable faces in Italian politics.
